Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 231 The Final Battle in the Underworld

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After the Haotian Sect once again chose to disappear, the continent enjoyed a brief period of peace. However, all the major powers understood that this was merely the calm before the storm.

Underworld.

A powerful demonic beast was perched in the sky. It had the body and claws of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle. This was the Netherworld Griffin, a demonic beast that guarded the Dorim Ring, the third circle of the Underworld. Its strength was comparable to that of a ferocious beast with 200,000 years of cultivation.

Before her stood an exquisitely beautiful figure, with golden hair cascading down to her shapely buttocks. Her stunning face was filled with a cold, aloof beauty, and her superior gaze exuded an oppressive aura, as if she were born to be superior to others.

It was a thousand-foot snow.

"roar!"

The griffin opposite her let out a roar that soared to the heavens, and a fierce wind that could tear everything apart rose up in response, transforming into the sharpest blades that swept towards Qian Renxue.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Angelic True Form!"

With this delicate shout, a terrifying golden light suddenly erupted, and the entire sky was dyed gold at that moment.

Among the seven soul rings pulsating around her—two yellow, two purple, and three black—the last black soul ring, faintly revealing a dark red hue, shone brightly.

Bathed in golden light, Qian Renxue was like the embodiment of the sun. Flames burned around her, golden feathers fell one after another, and three pairs of angel wings that shimmered with dazzling golden light spread out. The gale stirred up by the Netherworld Griffin melted away before it could even get close to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue is no longer just a simple Soul Saint. More than nine months ago, she broke through the bottleneck of level 80. However, because most of the demonic beasts in the Underworld are not suitable for Qian Renxue, she has not yet obtained her eighth soul ring. According to Xiao Yu's deduction, Qian Renxue's soul power should now be between level 83 and 84.

The divinely bestowed martial soul gives Qian Renxue innate combat power far exceeding that of other martial souls, allowing her to challenge titled Douluo even during her Soul Saint period. Now, she is probably comparable to a Super Douluo of level 95 or above.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Angelic Divine Sword!"

A holy golden light appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes, her black fifth soul ring lit up, and a strong sword intent burst forth from her right palm. A golden longsword radiating brilliant golden light appeared in her hand.

With her six pure white wings flapping behind her, Qian Renxue moved with incredible speed, like a golden meteor streaking across the sky, and in the blink of an eye, she had reached the Netherworld Griffin.

"cut!"

Qian Renxue gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands and slashed down with her sword. The sharp sword intent soared to its peak, and the solar fire burning around the Angelic Holy Sword shot into the sky. The scorching heat seemed to burn everything in its path, and the extremely sharp aura raged wildly between heaven and earth, making the space slightly distorted and illusory.

"roar!"

Faced with Qian Renxue's fierce sword strike, the Netherworld Griffin naturally wouldn't sit idly by. With a roar, the eerie dark light on the Netherworld Griffin's body shone brightly, and the overwhelming spiritual power gathered into the most ferocious attack to meet Qian Renxue's Angelic Divine Sword.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion resounded in mid-air. Amidst the intense collision, terrifying energy waves spread outwards, causing space to instantly distort and collapse. Cracks extended into the air, and golden and black halos merged together, gradually becoming denser and more distorted.

After a few seconds of stalemate, the golden light eventually overwhelmed the black light.

The dazzling golden light transformed into a fan-shaped beam and slashed down with a deafening roar. The massive body of the Netherworld Griffin exploded under the attack of the golden light, and countless pieces of flesh and blood rained down to the ground.

Qian Renxue drifted down to the ground, quietly reflecting on the insights gained from the battle.

Xiao Yu, Ye Lingling, and Huo Wu quietly approached Qian Renxue's side.

In these three years, not only has Qian Renxue's soul power increased by leaps and bounds, but Xiao Yu, Ye Lingling, and Huo Wu have also made great progress in their strength.

Xiao Yu's soul power has now reached a terrifying level of eighty-eight. He is confident that he can break through to the title of Douluo within the next six months to a year. Therefore, he did not hesitate to put the inner core of the Netherworld Griffin that Qian Renxue killed into his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch. This inner core, which has reached the cultivation level of a ferocious beast, can be used as his ninth soul ring.

Ye Lingling and Huo Wu have both broken through to the Soul Saint level and are striving to reach the Soul Douluo level.

Ye Lingling's current soul power level has reached level 79, and she only needs to accumulate more soul power to break through to the Soul Douluo level.

Huo Wu's current soul power level is level 78, which is almost catching up with Ye Lingling. In the Underworld, there is no factor that affects the cultivation speed of support-type and battle soul masters. The reason why Huo Wu's cultivation speed is faster than Ye Lingling's is purely because she is lucky.

The Fifth Hell of the Underworld is for punishing sinners who disobey the teachings of the gods. They suffer the torment of being roasted in fire in countless graves. Huo Wu, this little girl, has a fierce personality. She knows that she is the weakest of the four. In order to improve her strength, she jumped into the tomb without hesitation, drawing on the super-high temperature flames in the tomb to burn herself. This not only greatly improved the purity of the flames in her martial soul, but also made her cultivation speed advance by leaps and bounds.

"Only one more level left!"

After a while, Qian Renxue's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her bright eyes.

Over the past three years, what has satisfied her most is not her cultivation speed or the improvement of her soul power, but the fact that she has honed her combat experience in countless battles against powerful enemies, which has greatly improved her combat skills and made up for her biggest weakness.

"Yeah, it's been three years, and there's only one last level left!"

Xiao Yu shook his head, feeling quite refreshed. Because he was eager to control the Underworld and modify its rules so that Saga, Shaka, and others could enter the Underworld to cultivate and break through the level 100 barrier to fight against the God Realm, he had spent the past three years either fighting or cultivating. With three beautiful women around him, he had stubbornly remained chaste, and such a life inevitably became monotonous for Xiao Yu.

"It's finally going to end!"

If Xiao Yu was like this, then Huo Wu and Ye Lingling could hardly hide their smiles. Although their cultivation speed in the Underworld was indeed very fast, in just three or four years, they had advanced from Soul King to High-level Soul Saint, something they wouldn't even dare to dream of in the outside world.

However, being in a confined space for a long time without contact with the outside world, if it weren't for the fact that they were traveling together as a group of four, looking out for each other, one person alone here would probably have a mental breakdown.
